  •               United States Court of Appeals
    For the First Circuit
    No. 00-2460
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Appellee,
    v.
    JAMES R. RIGGS, JR.,
    Defendant, Appellant.
    ERRATA SHEET
    The opinion of this Court issued on April 24, 2002, is amended as
    follows:
    The final paragraph of the opinion should be replaced with the
    following text:
    As a result of the government's breach of the plea
    agreement, exacerbated by defense counsel's performance, we
    vacate the sentence and remand the case for further
    proceedings. Whether specific performance or an opportunity
    to withdraw the guilty plea is the appropriate remedy is a
    matter to be considered in the district court. If specific
    performance is ordered, we refer the court to our admonition
    in previous cases that in these circumstances resentencing
    ordinarily ought to be done by a different district judge.
    See, e.g., United States v. Kurkculer, 
    918 F.2d 295
    , 298
    (1st Cir. 1990) (citing Santobello v. New York, 
    404 U.S. 257
    , 263 (1971)).
